Tortas Y Tacos El Chino - Aurora

Tortas Y Tacos. The atmosphere is calm and inviting. I absolutely love local, home grown establishments. The front counter extremely kind. I was most impressed by how they treated a homeless man who came in with just 5 dollars and wanted something to eat. Instead of turning him away, the woman at the front worked to find him something he could afford. True community spirit here. The food was delicious. I had a Smothered Burrito con Pollo. Lovely presentation and the chef even brought it out to me. Lovely service. The beans and rice were seasoned perfectly and the chicken was tender and juicy. I would have a photo but it was gone before I could snap one. I definitely recommend this spot!

At first, I thought this would be a typical taqueria and in some ways it was. The food was fresh and portions generous. Tacos for $2.50 each were mounded high with meat. Nonetheless, there were a few surprises that will discourage me in the future. The default for burritos includes lettuce, tomato, guacamole, and mayonnaise (including an extra cup on the side). The burrito is simply rolled, with both ends open and cut in half. Although they have a deep fryer for French fries, they do not offer chips. And the only sodas are bottles, with no diet options.

It breaks my heart to have to write this review. Because I have been recommending this place to everyone I know. I absolutely love their tortas ajogadas. I've ordered multiple times in the past since Covid, and while the hours are irritating, I understand that like everyone else they are understaffed. On my recent visit, I spoke with the cashier who told me there are only three employees, which is why they have such limited hours. I asked about the Birria, and was told it's beef and not goat, and to be completely honest, I'm a stickler for authenticity for the most part. I love fusion cuisine's, and plays in mixes on traditional dishes... but if you're going to serve a traditional dish, then I feel it should be traditional. That being said, I ordered a torta ajogada, and unlike in the past, I was unable to choose the protein... not a big deal. So instead of a shredded Barbacoa, I got the on menu Carnitas version. I feel like when a restaurant has it as their set menu item then you should probably give it a try. Unfortunately, the Carnitas were tough and dry, and the oil was stale. At first I thought I was imagining it, but you could definitely taste it. Because of this, I can't say that I will ever go back again. Being short staffed is one thing, but using product that is past it's prime is entirely another.

This company Made my order wrong then didn’t even compensate messing it up. This is the 4th time. They are Very unprofessional. Was a loyal customer and they are not the same food is small portioned and full of fat and grease now unprofessional workers taco truck on (6th chambers) WAYY BETTER
